Industry watchdog the Afghanistan Telecom Regulatory Authority (ATRA) has set price ceilings for voice calls and data services, Ariana News writes, citing ATRA spokesperson Jalal Shams. According to the official, the price ceiling for calls was set at AFN2.2 (USD0.025) per minute, with charging calculated based on 30-second increments, down from 60 seconds previously. Maximum price for data services, meanwhile, was lowered to AFN110 per GB, down from AFN250.
The official went on to note that the ATRA is working on improving service quality for voice calls and data services. To address the issue, the regulator is looking into distributing additional spectrum or reorganising existing spectrum usage.
